    The Frugals

    People Magazine


    December 15, 2008


    We aren't celebrities — never have been and never want to be. We just want to be a family who encourages the world that living simply and frugally creates a rewarding, fulfilling and fun life. It amazes us that people in the world are amazed at our lifestyle. We have fun and laugh a lot and they just can't figure out why. Is it possible that people who have all of the stuff that the world says really matters, are missing out on the things that stuff can't buy? Things like peace, joy and relationships?

    Back to the Basics

    by Dawn Michelle Michals

    Twenty-five years ago, Steve and Annette Economides ventured down a path that has taken them far from the social norm. They decided to buy less and live more simply.


    “Not having to constantly earn more so we can buy more, so we can have more, has allowed us to follow the passion that God has laid on our hearts,” Steve says.
